The Maryland Situation.

PITTSBURGH. PA, Sept. ia
Washington special says: There is
more daylight on the political hori-
zon for the Republicans of Maryland
than there has been at any time since
they met their Waterloo in 1867. For
twenty years German and his gang
have ruled the State. Their ruling
has been so arbitrary and their meth
DDS so disgusting that at last the re-
spectacle element in the Democracy
of Maryland has determined to cast
off the incumber, German, with all
that that name implies. No one can
have an idea of the stencil which
arises from the corruption in Mary
land politics. Thieves, cut-throats,
Jail birds and ballot-box suffers abb
solutely rule everything. There has
not been an honest election in Balti-
more for fifteen years, but this year
the citizens are determined that there
shall be fair vote and an honest
count. A few months ago a reform
league was organized and money
subscribed to Danish the tricksters
who have controlled the elections in
the past. This movement has been
fostered and aided by almost the en-
tire Baltimore bar, and within the
ranks of the Independents are the
leading Democratic business men of
the Monumental City. Among tine
names of the most prominent are
bankers, merchants, ship owners, and
in fact, respectable business men of
all classes. They have succeeded in
convicting not less than ten of the
men who have raped the ballot boxes,
and they have great many more
under Indictment. German and his
henehmen-for German is all power
full in the State of Maryland-have
put up State ticket of respectable
figureheads, but the platform upon
which these dummies are to make
their fight is entirely at variance
with the views of the citizens OF
Maryland, who are anxious for clean
politics. The German faction refuses
to pay attention to the warning of
the better element of the Democratic
party, and as result the leaders of
the independent movement informed
the Republicans that if they would
nominate clean men and adopt a
platform such as was desired, which
should give pledge that an election
law based on that in operation in
New York, should be the first legis-
lation act they would vote for and
SUPPORT the ticket, The Republicans
complied with the request of the In
and the result is that the
latter promise that the ticket shall be
elected. The correspondent spent
several hours in Baltimore yesterday
looking into the situation. He saw
twenty or thirty leading Independ-
ent Democrats and was assured by
them that there will be at least eight
thousand votes, usually Democratic,
cast for the Republican ticket in Bal
umore alone. AS the Democratic
majority In that city does not exceed
sixty-fiye hundred, at the least, 1t will

Business Barometer.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
The sudden change of the Govern
ment's policy brings hopefuIness to
the local money market. Possibly,
indeed, too much may be expected.
Treasury purchases cannot entirely
remove the consequences of short
crops, harmful speculation, over has
ty developement, or the change of
active into fixed capital. Wall street
looks for the whole of the S14 900, 1000,
but a large part of the bonds will
come from the interior and the mon
Iey will go thither. Much of it is
wanted to meet commitments in
new enterprises, and may be so alb.
sorbed. The speculative advance in
price, which at once begun, will
make more money needed to carry
the same stocks or products. The
country is now using, outside the
Treasury S1,323, 100000 of various
kinds of money, and a clear addition
ofone per cent would not 60 very
far. But the disbursement will not
be wholly adding of currency to the
sum in use. because the government
receipts exceed regular expenditures
by 100000 or more each week. The
best of it is that the Treasury has
done, and may be expected to do
whatever it can to avoid a disturb
ance. While money is instantly
made easier in Wall street, it grows
lighter throughout the interior. Eff
fects of ABSORPTION of capital in build
ing and rapid development are each
week felt more clearly. At Cleve-
land money is very close, at Chicago
the constant demand from country
towns causes pressure of which no
relaxation at present is expected.
Recent failures cause caution at Phil
adelphia. Former failures also cause
pressure at Cincinnati, where per
cent is commonly paid. AT New Or
leans money has not been so tight
since the Grant Ward failure. AT
Kansas City, Omaha and Milwaukee
money is close, and from nearly all
points collections are reported slow,
or only fail. During the past week
the Treasury has paid out S4.500.000
more than it has taken in, so that the
payments exceed the receipts for the
month by $1,100,0O0.
Some depression results from recent
failures in the iron trade and from
continued heavy importations, and,
while the best brands of pig-iron are
firm, the heavy output tends to
weaken other grades. One large or
der for rails has been cancelled.
Boot and shoe sales are not up to
recent expectations, travellers report
ing orders contracted by monopoly
pressure. Leather and hides are con-
sequently dull, and some slackening
in the wooden goods trade checks the
late promise of greater activity in
wool. Dry goods experienced some
reaction from the unusual activity of
recent weeks, but prices are firmly
held. Prices in the stock market de-
clined Monday and Tuesday to the
lowest of the year, but have since re-
covered smartly, Wheat is also lift
ing a little, and new speculation
appears in oil with some advance in
coffee. The tendency for the move.

Fight for Decent Politics in Maryland

The revolt against German and his
disreputable machine has enlisted
the services of the best Democrats in
the State, who are manfully calling
on the people to rise up and assert
their self-respect and independence.
The reform movement has also stir
red up the German gang to desperate
measures.
Reputable men who have had the
boldness to array themselves against
the ring are roundly denounced by
its representatives and organs. The
press teens with communications
paid for by the ring aud appealing
to every prejudice by arousing which
it seems possible to save vote to the
boss machine. Here is a specimen
argument from the Baltimore Sun of
Saturday last:
OUR SOUTHERN TRADE IN DANGER.
Upon the future of this city and
State it is impossible to overestimate
the effect of the coming elections in
Maryland. Under Republican rule
this city could not prosper. Her
trade with the South would become
paralyzed, and the Southern people
would have no sympathy with us.
Southern merchants who now favor
us with their trade would purchase
their goods in the great Democratic
city of New York. The business men
of Baltimore, both Democratic and
Republican, should hesitate to en-
trust this city's welfare in the hands
of those who have proved her worst
enemies, and who would imperil her
growth and prosperity. The welfare
of the mercantile interests of Balti-
more is directly dependent upon the
continuance of. the Democratic party
in power.
A MERCHANT.
We do not believe one word of this
bitter arraignment of the merchants
of the South, The Southern mer.
chants who buy in New York are in
no way controlled by the politics oil
that city. They would not buy more
in Baltimore if there were two Cor.
mans in the field; they would not
buy less if German were utterly wip.

shows that the desperation of the

are beginning to get u little frightened
ABOUT the u~nsanitary condition of the
beautiful chamber in which they sit,
which a late report has emphasized. AS
the case was In the good old days, when
architects built Greek temples for work
shops without taking into consideration
that the climate of modern America and
ancient Greece were about as unlike rs
could be imagined, the Capitol was planned

the air Is drawn from below and merely

coal and wood and ashes and millions OF
pounds Of old paper ore stored. The blame
Tor this state Of affairs cannot be laid on

PeCuliarities Of Sea Phrases.

Take, for example, 'inboard" and
aboard" lou say of a man entering a
SHIP that lie has gone ''aboard her" of n
boat hanging at the davits that it must be
swung 'inboard." There is n nicely here
difficult of discrimination, but it is fixed,
nevertheless. You would not say of a
man in IA ship that he is ~'inboard," nor
OF davits that they must be slowed
aboard" Soof aft" and "abaft." They
both mean the same thing, but they are
not applied in the same way. A man is
aft" when he is on the quarter deck or
poop. You could not say ne IS ''abaft."
But suppose him to be beyond the mizzen-
mast, you would say ''he is standing Just
al'aft the mizzenmast," not she is stand
ing aft it," Peculiarities Of expression
abound in sea language to a degree not to
be paralleled by the eccentricities Of other
vocational dialects. a man who sleeps in
his bunk or hammock all night or through
his watch on deck ''lies I'M or sleeps in "
But neither is applicable If he sleeps
through his watch below. w. Clark Rus
